Hi everyone,
So I've had many problems with my phone (Galaxy S3 by Videotron) ever since I rooted it (5 days ago). It started by simply turning off on its own and taking a lot of time to boot back up. Today, it started doing bizarre things: for instance it wouldn't boot at all unless I tried many many times (it would get stuck at the Samsung logo). Also, when I managed to boot it, the touchscreen wouldn't work very well when I used the keyboard (i.e. if I pressed 'a', it would press 'n' for example and so forth).
So I decided I wanted to master reset it, but whenever I restarted the phone to get into recovery mode, I managed to get there but once it got stuck on the android icon. So I took off the battery and ever since began my huge problems. After that I just couldn't get it to boot back up (always getting stuck at the samsung logo). So I had to take off and replace the battery many times, and now there is absolutely nothing that makes it even get to the samsung logo. I tried the download mode, recovery mode, plugging it on the computer, taking off the battery and plugging the USB: absolutely nothing helps, it's as if the phone is just dead. At this point I have lost any hope If anyone has a suggestion on what I could do, I would be super grateful! And if it is impossible to get it back to work, please let me know also so I don't get any hopes.
TL;DR: Phone doesn't boot at all: nothing shows up when I try to boot it, even in recovery mode and download mode. Same thing if I try to plug it to a computer.
Thanks a lot
PS. Forgot to mention, the phone was charged before it stopped working.
